Absolutely awesome class! Teresa was very engaging, helpful, and did an excellent job explaining the history behind each dish. We could tell that she genuinely enjoyed teaching the course and was full of excitement the entire time. We were so full by the end of the tapas course that we could barely finish- the recipes that she taught us to make were beyond outstanding. Any food which you have not finished eating you may take home, otherwise it is donated. When my fiancé and I are in Madrid again, we've already discussed taking the Paella class! read more

We took the cooking class while visiting Madrid. The class was for a couple of hours. The chef showed us how to cook tapas, many Spanish inspired dishes. The class was fun. The chef was very patient when teaching us how to cook the dishes. At the end of the class, we were given a recipe book on the dishes we cooked. Also, a few spices were available to purchase when the class was over. read more

This is a hands on course. We took the one for Tapas and started with Sangria. Angel was great at telling us all about the history of where the food came from and going step by step through the recipes. In the end you can take away whatever you want to finish later. We also got a copy of all the recipes so no need to take notes. If you just want to watch the cooking, there are plenty of places you can go to see that. Here - WE COOK!! read more

When planning our trip to Spain, we knew we wanted to take a cooking class. We are so glad we chose this cooking school. We signed up for the tapas class. Eduardo, the owner/instructor, was excellent. His English was excellent and gave clear and precise instructions. The overall flow was amazing, given the amount of dishes we made and the fact that there were 12 total in the class. We worked in groups of two and ate the dishes we made. All of the food was really good, we liked everything . Highly recommend this experience. read more

What an awesome experience and opportunity to learn about local cuisine. Teresa was a fantastic instructor, we learned about food that came from different regions of Spain, a bit of history and a lot of new cooking techniques. All the food turned out amazing. If in Madrid and you love cooking or just like eating great food while enjoying learning with others, highly recommend this as an activity. read more

Worth every penny, Chef Teresa was AMAZING!! The whole experience was just so so fun, and oddly enough we had stuff in common with everyone. People next to us were also from Seattle area. The others were from the south! It was fun meeting and conversing with everyone. You will leave absolutely stuffed, and likely unable to finish even half the food you made. The offer doggy bags for whatever you'd like to take. Would absolutely recommend this place if you want to do a cooking class! Book direct and not on a travel site! You save $$! read more

This was so much fun! Chef gave us a 101 of the neighborhood, the market, Spanish meats and cheeses. I learned so much from her! I also learned great cooking tips that I'll definitely be taking back with me. We made sangria, gazpacho, and paella- It was delicious! If you cook often or hardly ever, you will still have a great time and learn a lot. I highly recommend this! read more

If you read my reviews, then you know how much I love food but this experience was one for the record books. If you are in Madrid, you MUST take this 4 hour class. I know - 4 hours may seem like a long time but trust me, you will cook with up to 8 other guests and the class will blow your mind. The food was much like you would experience in a top restaurant except you are the chef. Of course, led by an extremely talents teacher/cook who's name starts with an E, but she was FABULOUS! First, PROTIP - do not eat all day before taking this course. The food is so good, you will want to ensure you have room to devour everything. The Spanish Omelet was my favorite. This simple dish was so satisfying its crazy. Simple ingredients combined with your patience will make this a stand out at any party. Your guests will think you went to culinary school. Next, was the chorizo. I am a meatlover and the key to this dish is the paprika. I bought a can there at the class. You will drink the sauce trust me. The shrimp and garlic - trust me when i say, save some bread, you will want to soak up this amazing garlic sauce. Again, simple ingredients but you have to use an amazing olive oil. The dessert...no words. What a great way to top off the meal. I do have a video of myself with the torch flaming the sugar. So GOOD. Look this up on Trip Advisor and do yourself a favor...BOOK THIS!!! You will not be disappointed. read more

Cooking Point - Paella and sangria made during our lesson - Cooking Schools Near Me - Madrid, M

Loved our cooking class! We were fortunate to have the owner, Eduardo, as our instructor. Fun shopping trip to the local markets first, then down to business: how to really make Sangria, terrific fresh gazpacho, and amazing Paella. Better than the one we had at La Barraca by the way!! We needed to be Gluten-free and Celiac safe: Eduardo was so careful and accommodating. A truly fun, educational, and delicious hands-on experience. Highly recommended!!! read more

Elisa was our instructor and she was so funny and great with helping and explaining everything. I would come back to this class and attend more of her classes. Fiesta !!! read more

This was not the most technical cooking class I have ever taken but it was a fun class. We all agreed that our paella was better than any paella we had in restaurants in Spain. I wanted to learn to make paella with socarrat (the crispy crunchy rice bottom that is prized in Spain) but I don't think it was possible on an induction cooktop. We began our class the the Anton Martin Market which is near the cooking school. Our instructor provided a lot of great information on Spanish products such as jamón, olives, seafood, and fresh produce. We made sangria in class but beer and sodas where also provided. We made crema Catalana for dessert. I would have loved to have taken the tapa class the same evening but the venue was booked for a private group. A fun and memorable class to take while in Madrid.

I loved it! My sister and I took the paella class on a rainy day in Madrid. Class starts by a quick five minute walk to a market. You get the fresh fish and vegetables needed for the paella and gazpacho. Along with some fruits for sangria! Our instructor Eduardo does an excellent job explaining the market and foods. Back in Ohio we don't have markets like this so it was cool to learn about the market stands putting together orders for restaurants in the early AM and the history. We learned about different meats, cheeses, fish, and produce. From there we went back to the classroom and washed up and got ready to cook! We started with preparing the sangria so it would be ready to drink with the meal. Then we learned how to make a traditional Spanish gazpacho. Puréed and strained for a smooth texture and serve cold. Delicious! Next we learned the ins and outs of paella. Eduardo instructed us on how to chop and sauté everything to perfection! He explained differences in rice, saffron, and even olive oil. I had always wondered what the difference between extra virgin and virgin olive oil. After the paella finished we enjoyed everything we made while Eduardo showed a slide show of pictures from paella cookouts and city fairs! It was all very enjoyable and I wish I had time to do the tapas class! 70€ is totally worth it! read more

We came to Madrid in August during our honeymoon and decided to book this class as a fun activity on the trip. We are so glad we did; it was perfect! Laura was truly an excellent instructor. We had no idea the depth the class would go into, such as shopping at the market for the items and having a mini lesson on the history of the food in Madrid. It was so awesome and educational. We loved learning about it. Would definitely recommend if you're in Madrid and looking for an activity. You don't have to go as a couple; you can go by yourself, with friends, etc. read more

Was my favorite activity/tour in spain. Chef Angel taught us how to cook spanish traditional tapas(spanish omlette, chorizo, bravas, garlic shrimp, bread with ham, oil, and tomatoe paste and garlic). We also learned how to make a catalan custard as well as spanish sangria. There was already a bowl of premade sangria which we drank throughout the class there was also free beer but most drank sangria. The class cost about 78 euros but lasted about 4 hrs. Chef Angel also gave us a lot of history about the dishes we made. It was a lot of fun and time flew. You will be full by the end of class as well. Would do it again next time we are there. I recommend this to anyone who needs a break from the tiring tours and wanted a chance to interact with a local. It was a lot of fun. read more

I took the Paella class with Eduardo. I highly recommend this school as an activity when in Madrid. I am an avid cook who lived in Madrid for a few years in the past and love Spanish food. During my recent stay, my friend mention this school and I decided on the paella class (although I was going to take both but ran out of time!). The school is very clean with a modern kitchen and very easy to find. It was a very small class due to being after the holidays and the new covid variant-just three of us and the instructor. I went to the market with Eduardo to buy the ingredients while the other students were coming late. He explained many things about Spanish food and ingredients and answered all my questions. In the paella class we made sangria, and then enjoyed drinking it while we made crema Catalan and then paella. It was a very informal class but I learned a few tricks on how to make paella, which I had not known. Afterwards we ate our meal with the glasses of sangria. It was fresh and excellent and I took home my leftovers. I very much enjoyed my time here and would take another class without hesitation. I wish I had time to take the tapas class-next time! They give you a little recipe book to take home and you can buy things like saffron to take home. read more

Eduardo is an amazing host. He is knowledgeable and patient. From the market tour through cooking and eating he us a spectacular host. What a relaxing and delicious way to spend a day in Madrid. He was also accommodating for dietary concerns which was much appreciated. Definitely would do this again! read more

This was our favorite part of the trip! Eduardo was a great teacher, funny, and patient. The group was small, only about 10 people. Don't go super hungry because you cook for 3 hours and don't eat until the very end! We made 5 different tapas (which Eduardo could modify for food allergies) and sangria. All of it was amazing and we left a little tipsy and very full. You even go home with the recipes and can email the school if you have a question. We have already cooked some the recipes again and made sangria. We took the evening class which focuses on tapas, but we heard from another woman who had taken the earlier class for paella that that was also great. read more

I give this place 5 stars because I can't give it 6 stars! Eduardo was very informative, educational and patient. And the foods we prepared were easy to make. But best of all, they were also extremely delicious! I'll be taking the Paella class later in the week! I can't wait! read more

One of my favorite activities in Madrid! Not only was our instructor Eduardo enthusiastic throughout the class, but also very knowledgeable about the Spanish culture and food. Using fresh ingredients that Eduardo prepared for us, we made sangria, mussels vinaigrette, garlic shrimp, chorizos in cider, Spanish potato omelette, Potatos bravas, and Pan con tomate (Tomato bread), all of which were simply d-e-licious! (And nothing beats home-cooked meals!) The lunch class offered courses on how to cook pallela and gazpacho. I would recommend anyone who wishes to learn how to cook traditional Spanish Tapas to take his class! read more

I had an amazing time at Cooking Point! I made paella, sangria and gazpacho. The instruction was done in English and was easy to follow. We went to a local market to get produce and seafood for the dishes we made. The instructor was very knowledgable of the area, market, and explained how things are done in Madrid. He was very helpful and I would truly recommend you taking the class! read more

We had such a great experience. The class was well rounded with a trip to the market and the hands on cooking portion. They also made alterations for me since I had dietary restrictions. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun Madrid experience. read more

This paella class was so much fun. Not only do you get to eat what you cook you get to drink Sangria..Eduardo is very patient and informative..Enjoyed the 4 hours immensely. If you are a foodie this class is awesome read more

Great place! We took the paella, gazpacho, and sangria class. It started with a nice trip to El Mercado to buy fish, chicken, olives, and vegetables. And then back to the studio to cook. Eduardo was a great host and teacher. He grew up in Madrid and spent his childhood summer vacations on the southeastern coast. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the food, its regional variations, and how it is served at home and for family celebrations. The food is very fresh. The broth for the paella is homemade! The cooking facilities are quite nice and clean. They easily accommodated vegetarians and those who didn't like too much seafood. It was a very enjoyable way to spend the day learning, cooking, and eating! read more
